    Battery Upgrade Step for 2021 Solitude 344GK Solar Project

    Hi all,

    I’m doing some planning for a battery upgrade on a 344GK Solitude. I’ve created a schematic of what I think would work given the current wiring and the size of system I’d like to have. Please take a look and let me know what I have wrong or missed.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Quick scan of your drawing and i would recommend moving the 300ah fuse to within 15 or so inches of the battery bank. Also wire size 2/0?

    Nice schematic and lots of $$$ in that picture.

    Will be following this thread to see what others might say. I'm in the middle of my own build with a 3k inverter and 4 BB batteries.

    Good luck.

    I’m going for overkill and using 4/0 for battery and inverter connections. The run will be really short, less than 3 feet from battery to inverter.

    Thanks for the tip on the fuse location. I will make sure it is close.

    Thats what im using for my wire choice, 4/0. In the installation manual for the Magnum hybrid RV inverter, it speaks to wire runs, size recommendation and how far the fuse should be located from the battery bank. The rest i am learning and carefully planning asking a lot of questions .
